Pure Air.

The atmosphere is a most important factor
in disease. 1t is always contaminated with
dust containing minute particles which cause
putrefaction and fermentation. It is now as
serted that these cause ali malarial and con-
tagious diseases. Stagnation in the atrnos-
phere acts as stagnation in water, which
every one knows is unwholesome. The body
requires vast amount of air, and the poi
sons cast off by the human system are dead
ly. If breathed over and over again they are
deleterious to the strongest constitution Dc
fective sewer pipes are perhaps the most Sc
rious cause of fevers. These should receive
immediate attention as soon as bad odors are
detected. Especially, let the house be we'll
and frequently aired and its impurities swept
away, as the tide draws Off the drainage of a
city and carries it out to the ocean.

The Hunger C.nre.

Not favoring anything which may be fairly
called starvation, it is unquestionably true
that there is a manifest advantage, as q cura-
tive means, in reasonable fasting, at, least to
an extent to allow the system to rid itself OF
all obstructions. As when we have more
labor on hand than can be possibly done to-
day, some of it must remain till tomorrow,
SO when we take more food than can be di-
gested in the allotted time, or that so difficult
OF digestion that it cannot be disposed of in
the usual time, there must be an accumula-
tion, something which serves as an obstruc-
tion, an accumulation of materials which
need to be disposed of, the whole system being
more or less clogged
Fasting, therefore, under such circum-
stances, is among the most important of the
remedial measures. When this is not done,
nature, as the next best means to be en-
ployed, throws off such offending matter by
vomiting or purging, thus avoiding other
forms of disease, ii as disease these friendly
manifestations may be regarded. well
know that there are persons who believe that
one must eat or soon die but they forget that
DR.. Tanner lived for forty days. taking only
water, and that others have lived still longer,
and that in high fevers and acute diseases,
when the appetite is entirely suspended, sew
eral weeks may pass while the patient is fast
ing.
The danger of starvation is not as great as
is usually supposed by any means, since the
body is composed mainly OF tho elements of
air and water, which, we suppose, may be ap-
propriated in an emergency Therefore,
am firm in the opinion that at the commence.
ment of an acute disease, decided sickness
may be averted, in nine cases out of ten, by
reasonable fasting, at least so long as there is
no appetite, with extra bathing, friction of
the surface, quiet, rest, a good supply of air
and Snnlight.-nr. Hanafnrd

Cholera in Corea.

The deaths from cholera in Corea were re-
ported for while at 1000 per day. Seoul,
the chief city of the peninsula, contains
less than $50, 600 inhabitants within its walls.
An important point to note is that the sani-
tary condition of the capital has been for
long time horrible, in spite of excellent
natural drainage. The sewers were once
very good, although open on the streets; but
of late the houses have encroached on the
thoroughfares, and have been recklessly
built up to and even over the sewers, leaving
only the space necessary for these conduits,
which have become iilthier and filthier The
lesson of this devastation of Seoul is the one
that would be taught in any other city of the
world under like circumstances; and horrible
and ptiabe as was the mortality, insomuch
as the dead lay long unburied, it cannot be
called surprising.

A Kiss in the Dark.

Some Buffalo girls, at little party, re-
Gently, got up new order, and wished to
initiate the young men into its mysteries.
They took possession of the front parlor
and closed the folding doors, leaving one Of
their number on guard. The gentlemen
found one youth had DISAPPEARED and won-
dered what had become of him The lodge
being in readiness for candidates, one of
the young men was escorted into the room.
He found four blushing maidens standing
in a row in corner of the room, with n
chair in front of them. Upon this he was
seated and blindfolded, and then told that
one of the girls would kiss him. II he
nould guess her name he would be privileged
to repeat the osculation. OF course. he
made miserable failure; but instead Of
being allowed to retire he was compelled to
occupy seat on the opposite side of the
room. Just imagine his feelings when the
next victim was led in and had been pre-
pared for the sacrifice, to see the missing
beardless youth rise up, ghost like, from
behind the girls, imprint good, sound
smack on the uplifted and expectant lips of
the candidate, and then dodge back to his
place of concealment. One after another
the young men were victimized The fun
OF it was, though to hear some of them de-
mand more than one trial before the re-
moval Of the hoodwinks-one well known
physician, not being content with less than
three kisses. He was enthusiastic over
their sweetness until the sweet was turned
to gall as he saw the boy salute his successor

A Ship Load of Treasure,

A practical result of the French invasion
Of Anam reached Paris in the shape of
mass of gold and silver treasure captured at
Hue. The whole amount is contained in 192
boxes of silver and fourteen of gold. This
rich cargo, which altogether weighs over
10000 pounds, and is valued ut 81 ,S00,0O0,
came over to France by steamer, being
slowed in the bottom of the hold and covered
over with 500 tons of merchandise. This was
only . tlifling part Of tho precautions which
hnd to be taken. Every opening that could
communicate with the hold was closed and
sealed. The cargo was unloaded with the
greatest care, and men with swords and lead
ed reyolvcrs stood by till tho last box was re-
moved Tho treasure was then placed on q
train and dispatched to the minister Of
finance at Paris. Foreign Letter

The Terms Men and yyomsp

A singular change in the use of the words
designating men and women has come about
within the last fifty years In the middle of
the present century 1t was common to speak
of a mans wife as ahls lady, To-day such
use of the word would be regarded by many
a. an insult.
Neither the word gentleman nor lady is
used as frequently as formerly It used to he
common for a young girl to speak of her
male friends as gentlemen. Now, she would
say man hld called on her, or four men
were presented 70 her during the evening.
One is more likely to hear his barber spoken
of as the gentleman who shaves him than
hear the president OF the United States called
the gentleman who occupies the White House.
1t would he the man who il president. ~
The terms gentleman and lady were
originally used tss designate class in England
with sls cial alpriviless*. There is I'M sifstine-
zion in class in the Uuitcd States, and people
are nl) men and women alike.

Fashion for Fighting Dogs.

It is said that fighting dogs fare better with
their ears cropped, and the exigencies OF
fighting dogs have set the fashion for all
others 1t is true that il an ear be gone it
cannot be- torn, but then it is forgotten that
even for fighting purposes the ear is often a
protection. All these fighting dogs have what
are called points" One has his way of seiz-
ing the leg, another fixes upon the throat,
and yet another makes dash at the large
gland behind the ear, which In the dog is as
sensitive as the most sensitive gland in the
human body. Deprive the dog of hisear and
the assailant can get good bite at it and lay
his adversary low, Leave the dog his ear
and the assailant's grasp of the sensitive
gland is impeded by the folds OF the ear and
rendered much more feeble. Thus, even to
the fighting dog the long ear is q positive de-

Children's Hose,

Children's hose show some very desirable
improvements. A new idea is very closely
ribbed stripe around the leg, above the calf,
which serves as garter. English boys and
girls are wearing this style very generally for
ordinary occasions and for school hose. They
are heavy and strong, and are likely to. meet
with the approval of American mothers.
Children's hose in general are greatly i'm
proved. All points of excellence possible to
introduce are found In the present stocks
T1ere are boot hose with white feet of thick
soft cotton that are much more pleasant for
some children than those that are all black.
Woolen hose have cotton feet for the same
reason. Silk spliced heels and ankles are
shown il. silk, cashmere and fine cotton hose
for girls and acknowledgements Monthly.
